This invention relates to the ornamenting of automobile parts, such asthe hood, wheels and body, and my invention resides in forming a maskwith stencil openings, the form of the mask being determined by theshape of the particular part on which the mask is superposed, to the endthat intimate contact may be maintained while a spray of waterproofcolor is directed against the mask. My invention, therefore, consists ina method of spraying or brushing colored ornamentation upon surfacesover a mask by the interposition of a mask with stencil ornamentationclosely applied to the surface to be decorated.

The invention will be more fully disclosed in the accompanying drawings,wherein:

Figure l is a plan of a mask adapted to carry out my invention. 1

Figure 2 is a'sectional view on the plane 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the plane 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is an enlarged detail showing the method of striping a convexsurface with stripes.

Figures 5 and 6 show a concave for adapted to stripe the wheel.

Figure 7 shows the eflect of such ornamentation.

Referring now in detail to the drawings, Figures 1 to 3 show a maskadapted to stripe an automobile hood. This is in the. form of a deeppan, including outwardly directed flanges providing guards adapted forthe purpose of preventing paint from being sprayed on or dripping uponthe adjacent parts of the hood not covered by the mask. As will beapparent from these figures, a portion of the bottom of the pan-likemask is molded in obverse form to the ventilating opening shields of thehood, so that in application to the hood the mask covers all partsexcept narrow stripes upon which the spraying paint will be deposited.The relation of the parts will be clearly apparent in Figure 4, wherethe convex surface of the hood 1 is almost entirely masked by theconcave stencil members 2, which as shown are a plurality of crosssectional curved outwardly directed elongated projections recessedlongitudinally at their outer edge so astoleave only a narrow lineiofthe underlying surface of the shields to receive thepaint. j

In Figures 5 and 6, I have shown a form of the "device for striping diskWheels, and this form is composedof a pair of sections indi- 1 cated bythe reference numerals 3 and 4 which for convenience in application aresecured together byyokes 5 and 6 having their ends fixed to therespective sections and extending outwardly therefrom as best shown inFigure 6 of the drawings. These yokes also provide means forconveniently handling the mask as will be apparent. The outer edge ofthe section 3 is flared outwardly at an inclination so as to provide aguard which may be brought flush with the felly and rim portions of awheel, while the cylindrical centrally disposed hollow sleeve likemember 4! slides snugly over the hub portion of the wheel. In this formof the invention, it will be ap parent that the space between thesections which as shown is formed into an annular opening is adapted forthe purpose of providing a circular line upon a disk wheel be tween thehub portion and the felly portion thereof.

In Figure 7 I have illustrated a modified form of the wheel stripingmask, and this form is somewhat similar to the form as shown in Figures5 and 6. It also includes an outwardly directed inclined flange formingthe outer edge thereof and a plurality of arcuate shaped slots 8 areformed adjacent the flange for striping the felly portion of the wheel.Between the slots are portions 9 forming an integral connection for therim and hub portion of this form of the mask, while formed centrally ofthe slots are a plurality of substantially V-shaped openings l0radiating from the hub portion which is similar in construction to thesleeve 4L and the'substantially V-shaped openings are adapted for thepurpose of stripmg the.

spokes of a wheel as will be readily apparmake changes in theconstruction and in the combination and arrangement of the severalparts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appendedclaims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters 'Patent is:

1. A device for striping a disk wheel comprising cooperating sectionsdisposed in spaced relation to provide an annular opening between thesame, yokes securing 'the sections in cooperative relation, a hubreceiving sleeve formed with one of said sections, and a paint guardformed with the other section.

2. A device for striping vehicle wheels comprisingv a flange formedtherewith and extending at an outward inclination therefrom to provide aguard, a hub protecting portion formed with said device and said devicebeing provided with means for 6X:

posing parts of the wheel to'be painted.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature. PETER B. FURNARO.
